Call for applications from BRITDOC for both the next Goodpitch Europe taking place in Sweden and the next Impact Producers Lab taking place in Finland.
Good Pitch Europe: returns to the nordic countries - Sweden
Good Pitch Europe returns to the Nordic countries in May 2016, this time to the Swedish capital, Stockholm. BRITDOC is calling out to European filmmakers working on social and environmental justice film projects to apply by the December 1st deadline.
What's the big idea behind Good Pitch? Take a look at this page on the Good Pitch website for a grounding on what is (and what isn’t) a Good Pitch film, what the opportunities are, and what other films have walked away with.
We're looking for films which tackle a national or global issue, with something important to show us about the world or ourselves. We welcome films of any style - personal, observational, essays, presenter-led, verite... Projects can be at any stage from early production to completion and even early festival circuit (although rough cut stage is ideal), and they should be 60+ minutes in length (although we welcome plans to make shorter versions).

Return to Finland: impact Producers Lab
In preparation for May’s Good Pitch Europe, BRITDOC will be returning to the delightful surroundings of Hameenlinna in Finland for an Impact Producers Lab from January 13th-16th 2016.
Both in the US and Europe more funds are now available to pay for 'outreach and engagement' to ensure films hit their target audiences. However, there is a shortage of professionals to handle this work. Just as films have producers to manage the creative and financial process from script to screen, some films now need specialised impact producers to take the film from completion to impact.
At BRITDOC we’re helping to train up this new generation, and this winter we are looking to select eight individuals from Europe who are either doing this work, or ready to step into this role.
Anyone from the European Union eager to learn more about how to use your film as a tool for social or environmental change can apply. We are looking to work with established professionals from the worlds of film, campaigning, journalism, politics and marketing and PR.
